Been having trouble using your internet connection lately?

With thanks to Billabong for the link

It would appear that NTL are in the process of expanding the number of Transparent Proxy Cache Servers and have adopted a new format for the server URL?s.

This is a compilation of the new format caches as we get details of them. All these caches use Port 8080.

OK, now, being an IT person it's kind of embarassing to ask, but what do I with these? Internet settings is something I've never really had to mess with

I don't have my net set up to connect through a proxy server, so will I need to change this?

 

Theres no point fiddling with it if your connection is ok.

If it aint, go in to the Tools menu on an internet page (right at the top on the menu list) then select Options and then Connection Settings.

Select Manual Proxy Configuration or simular (I use FireFox IE) and insert the proxy server settings for a server near you..........for example......

I live in Dartford, Kent and the nearest server to me is in Bromley, Kent. So i used Bromley 10 = bmly-cache-10.server.ntli.net and the port is always 8080

Select Apply or Ok and then carry on as per normal, you should notice quite a difference if it was playing up before

Works a treat now, well happy

 

IE > Tools > Internet Options > Connection > Lan Settings then put the proxy in the proxy box and tick use proxy. If you're internet's fine though, I'd leave it as is.

I only change the proxy if there's a local issue.... but some proxies are faster than others...

 

My connection is always going off and not working. It's been ok the last 2 weeks but it's very slow. I do connection speed tests and get between 2 - 300kb when I'm on a 2 meg connection

What's that all about?

 

One for you Bill

 

All looks to be south of you, but the above alert is listed on the NTL site as affecting nationwide services.

Try a couple of different proxies and see if it speeds up any.

 

Aye will do. No mention of Leeds in there. Bastards, they're useless!

 

Good old NT Hell

 

cheers to the bill(s)!

 

It all seems to be working fine for me some finally

 

No probs people

 

 

mine works anyway

 

You should have went to spec savers, are you sure you are even with NTL Read the list again!!
